Q

A-C Joint
(Acromioclavicular)

A

Attaches to trapezius and deltoid muscle
Glide medially toward the clavicle. Finger will feel a small ‘step’ as you rise up onto the surface of the clavicle. Backtrack slightly. Just lateral to the step will be the AC joint’s slender ditch.

Q

Greater trochanter

A

Lateral proximal edge of femur.
Wrist crease
Prone, holding ankle, flex knee to 90º. As proximal hand palpates the greater trochanter, use the other hand to medially and laterally rotate the hip.
Gluteus medius and gluteus minimus tendon attach

17

TMJ

A

Space anterior to tragus
Between temporal and mandibular

20
Q

Tibial/deltoid tuberosity

A

Bony bump on tibia/humerus

21
Q

Intertubercular groove
aka Bicipital sulcus

A

Groove on the humerus that separates the greater tubercle from lesser tubercle.
Tendon of long head of bicep brachii muscle runs through
Palpate by flexing arm and resisting push down

22
Q

Styloid process

A

A bony prominence of distal end of the ulna/radius by the wrist

23
Q

Transverse process of C-spine

A

Two laterally projecting parts of the vertebral arch
Half way in between mastoid and angle of mandible

24
Q

Head of talus

A

Located between the navicular and medial malleolus
Invert/evert the foot to palpate
Articulates with tibia, calcaneum and navicular

25
Q

Iliac crest

A

Bony top ridge of iliac bone (L4)

26
Q

Pop fossa

A

Back of the knee

27
Q

28
Q

Cuneiform (medial, middle and lateral)

A

Proximal to base of first metatarsal
Medial cuneiform attaches to the tibialis anterior and tibialis posterior muscle
- Navicular attaches proximally

A

Attaches to talus and fibula anteriorly

32
Q

What does PTFL (posterior talofibular ligament) attach to?

A

Attaches to talus and fibula posteriorly

33
Q

Tarsometatarsal joint
